Waterfalls at Welcombe Mouth Lots of rain recently, so lots of water for the waterfall. You can also see two people on the stepping stones.

An adder below Knap Head This adder (Vipera berus) was basking in the sun on the coast path as I was descending from Knap Head, my footsteps disturbed it, but I was able to photograph it quickly before it disappeared into the vegetation. I think with its brown colouring this is a female.
